Regular City Council Meeting <br />Monday, October 19, 2009 <br />Page 6 <br />Mayor Klausing opined that, given the City Council policy versus the shortened <br />period of time available, his overriding concern was proceeding to avoid loss of <br />the grant funds; and proposed making an exception to the City's policy, if neces- <br />sary, in this case. <br />Councilmember Pust opined that it was premature to discuss such issues without <br />the City Attorney's review of the Policy if this item was to be tabled until later in <br />the meeting. <br />Ms. Rubey advised that, when the City had initially applied for the grant funds, <br />they needed to supply a quote for the equipment with each expenditure itemized, <br />and only 30 days to accomplish that task.. Ms. Rubey noted that LETG was a <br />known vendor for the equipment needed, and had been reviewed by the depart- <br />ment in the past, and considered to be the best fit for the equipment needed. <br />Councilmember Pust clarified to staff that she was not indicating that staff had <br />been remiss in their actions; however, as a policy matter on bidding practices, the <br />City needed to enunciate why they were deviating from their own policy. <br />Mayor Klausing opined that the City Council, through this discussion, had suffi- <br />ciently articulated their rationale for this action; and opined his preference to pro- <br />ceed as requested, while allowing City Attorney Squires to verify the City's pol- <br />icy, but continuing to move forward. Mayor Klausing opined that if the City <br />Council needed to revise their standing policy to make this compliance, they <br />could do so. <br />Councilmember Pust asked if the City Attorney's office had reviewed these pro- <br />posed agreements. <br />City Attorney Squires advised that his office had done so, but not him personally <br />Councilmember Johnson opined that he was ready to move forward at this time. <br />Johnson moved, Klausing seconded, adoption of Resolution No. 10758 entitled, <br />"Resolution Authorizing Execution of Agreement (Attachment 2)." <br />Roll Call <br />Ayes: Roe; Johnson; Pust; and Klausing. <br />Nays: None. <br />f. Approve Law Enforcement Technology Group (LETG) Software and <br />Equipment Services Agreement <br />Johnson moved, Klausing seconded, approval of a Software and Equipment Li- <br />cense and Services Agreement between LETG and the City of Roseville's Police <br />Department; allowing the Department to proceed with the expeditious implement <br />
